[1] A 10 turn coil is wrapped tightly around the center of a long solenoid with 6000 turns per meter. When the current in the solenoid is decreasing by 0.5 A/s, calculate the current induced in the 10 turn coil if it has a resistance of 5 ohm and the area of the solenoid opening is 0.01 m2. Give the direction of the current if the original solenoid current was clockwise.
The flux through the coil is decreasing because of the decreasing current in solenoid which causes the decrease in magnetic field. Hence current induced in coil will be in such a direction so that it strengthens the decreasing flux. Hence the current induced direction must be clockwise.
